Seattle Newborn Photographer | Baby Leighton

While planning a last minute getaway with my family a month ago, I was told by my husband that there'd be no work.  No sessions booked, no late-night editing.. just family and friends.  Sounded good.. until his cousin (and one of my very favorite people) welcomed her little boy along with her family in the comforts of their own home.  

While I couldn't be there to capture the birth itself (something I'd love to do at some point), we did make a little detour to capture some of the family's first memories together.  

With limited time, the shoot ended up being a little more about the family than a full newborn session, but I'm SO SO happy we had the chance to meet this little man, and seeing his big sis Emerson love on him was over the top cute.  

Congrats Smith Fam!!

Portland Maternity Photos | Carla + Alex

The moment I met Carla + Alex, I knew our session was going to be special.  They haven't had an easy road to this pregnancy and now that they're expecting their little girl, the enthusiasm both of them have shines through in every moment.  There are so many couples out there that go through so much, knowing all along that they are meant to have that little baby.  It never ceases to touch me and I'm so thankful I was able to capture this moment in time for them. 

Carla is the epitome of glowing and Alex is right there with her.  The way he looks at her, talks about the pregnancy and how wonderful his wife is; it's just the best.  And although I just met them, I'm already a big fan of theirs and can't wait for our upcoming newborn session with the little miss.
